Adventure Q2 Hostel

During summer, only stay here if you want to party. Noise is an issue. The place is also rundown slightly. We were given a terrible bunk room on the first floor, surrounded by common areas: kitchen, outdoor space, reception, and showers. It was loud. There is a « quiet after 10 pm « rule in common areas, but some staff members went back to the kitchen and chatted for an hour; we could genuinely hear everything (not because they talk loud but because the walls are paper thin). I recommend avoiding this specific room if you can. Rooms on other floors should be way better. On the positive side, beds have curtains (mine was broken tho), chargers, and are comfortable. The staff is friendly and the location is good. My conclusion is that the hostel feels maybe slightly rundown and is definitely overpriced for what you get. Even for Queenstown, it's not worth the money. I added two pictures of broken curtains from our room (one from my bed and one from the window connecting to the outside area). Given the price of 75 NZD, not so nice

I stayed here from November 18–22 and enjoyed a chill stay. Here's my in depth review of the hostel. (TLDR: I recommend it!) 📍 Location The hostel location is excellent. It’s on Athol Street, where InterCity buses depart/arrive for the Milford Sound tour and transfers to other cities. It’s also very walkable to shops and restaurants. There’s a Four Square grocery store a two-minute walk away. Definitely cook your meals since Queenstown is expensive. 🔒 Design & Security The hostel is well-designed with a spacious common room, dining area, and patio. It’s also very secure, with a code to get into the building and dorm hallways after hours. 🛏️ Dorm Rooms The dorm rooms are very nice, with: - Privacy curtains - A built-in shelf above the mattress - Outlets and a wall light - A locker under the bunk - Ample shelving for extra storage - A provided shower towel Ventilation is good, you can open/close the windows, and there’s a blackout curtain. My room faced Athol Street, so it was a bit noisy at night, the bar across the street had music/karaoke, but it didn’t last long (maybe until 11pm-12am?). 🧼 Bathrooms The bathrooms are small and narrow, but the Where’s Wally posters in the toilet rooms are a clever touch. The shower water was hot with good pressure. 🍴 Kitchen The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of utensils, storage containers, and fridge/pantry space. Just remember to label your food. 🗣️ Social Atmosphere & Services They host social events each night. It was quiet when I visited, so I only went to the quiz night. They also offer laundry, luggage storage (up to 7 days free), gear rental, and other helpful services. 🎉 Overall good value for the price and aligned with what I’d expect for a hostel at this budget. ⚠️ Only complaints: narrow bathrooms and nighttime street noise.

Excellent location and PIN code lock safety mechanism on major entries are helpful. I stayed in 6 dormitories ensuite. Rooms are bigger and there are a huge storage for each resident. Extra lockers and storage can be found outside the bunk should you need more space. Towel is provided as well. Very quiet at night thus can sleep well. Kitchen is huge and I still find space to put my groceries inside the fridge and cubicle outside. Will be back to stay for a couple of nights when I am back to Queenstown.

Leich and Aglae are two lovely workers who always welcome you with a smile. The accommodation is located in the city center. However, one of the staff members, Mathilde, entered the rooms without knocking, thus invading guests’ privacy. She also gave unpleasant looks to the clients and shouted in the kitchen.

Super cool hostel. We stayed there last year and absolutely loved it ! We are staying again this year aswell. Super Friendly and helpful staff ! Great location and great rooms and facilities!

I stayed here 2 years ago and I haven’t been back to Queenstown since but I still talk about how comfortable the bunk beds were at least once a month. Three of us stayed here for 5 nights and every single morning we’d wake up and say we had the best sleep of our lives. I felt like I was encased in a womb and that each morning the bed would give birth to me. 10/10 would really recommend

They are amazing! Very friendly staff and great place, they also have entertainment and group activities as well. I would love to stay there again

We stayed there multiple times during our trip to NZ. The hostel is super social and we met both some great people to go out with for the evening and some friends we have continued to stay in touch with. The kitchen is lovely and the computers/printers were helpful for planning the rest of our trip. We also loved the free bike rental and luggage storage.
